Fine Gael Councillor David McManus has lashed out at the opposition parties for allowing construction to stay closed – even though it was his party who closed it. Tweeting during an RTÉ Prime Time segment on how lack of housing supply has driven up house prices nationwide, McManus, who is also Deputy Mayor of South […]
What’s ironic about this, of course, is that the apology is for the killing of Lord Mountbatten, who, as Lord High Admiral and First Sea Lord, was probably a legitimate military target, if you subscribe to the view that the IRA was fighting a war, as McDonald presumably does. Where’s the apology for killing Nicholas […]
Here is one of the most extraordinary stories to come out of Ireland since the beginning of the pandemic, and one, you can be sure, that won’t get much media attention anywhere else. In fact, it’s buried three quarters of the way through this Irish Times article: The court also heard evidence from Dr Darina […]
Last week, Gript highlighted the fact that senior Irish doctors are undergoing “international training” in a late-term abortion method known as Dilation and Evacuation, with a view to carrying out such abortions in this country. During the abortion referendum of 2018, the public was given repeated public assurances that this kind of abortion would […]
A strange new medievalism is about. It’s a complex set of attitudes and public penitence, confessions, and rituals; all coming from an elite class, and it has all the hallmarks of a medieval feudalism. The dukes and lords of this medievalism are the credentialed elite. Their castles and Chateau are the institutional hives of media, […]
Refusing a vaccine developed using stem cell lines derived from abortions may further the common good, lead to greater levels of vaccination, and contribute to defeating Covid-19. This appears counter intuitive but it may be part of a virtuous circle that can end embryonic stem cell research and a return to a normal society. […]
Reporting by David Mullins and Niamh Uí Bhriain _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A new report has confirmed that senior Irish doctors are undergoing “international training” in a controversial late-term abortion method known as Dilation and Evacuation, with a view to carrying out such […]
Today saw the long-awaited release of the General Scheme of Minister McEntee’s new Hate Crime Bill. The bill will introduce several aggravated offences which will increase penalties for crimes “motivated by prejudice.” Assuming, of course, that those offences are targeted at those with “protected characteristics.” Race; colour; nationality; religion, ethnic or national origin; sexual orientation; […]
There is, as Irish Catholic Editor Michael Kelly noted last night, a “glorious irony” to this: There is a glorious irony in the fact that the Irish Republic has now gone so rogue that Poland and Hungary are rightly raising concerns about the rule of law here. https://t.co/f6WlZnEiAV — Michael Kelly ن (@MichaelPTKelly) April 15, […]
One of these days, my friends, Ireland will find itself facing a problem to which Paul Murphy’s answer will not be “seize all private property”. But it is not this day. Here he is, popping up on RTE’s Drive Time radio programme to advocate….. seizing hotels and turning them into Government prison camps quarantine facilities […]
As a doctor, I am not usually moved to write articles, but an episode in the media this week has changed that. And my turn to penmanship has been inspired, solely, by RTÉ’s Claire Byrne, and an interview she conducted this week. She was interviewing Sam McConkey (again) who you know is an Infectious Disease […]
The idea that the Covid 19 virus could be eliminated is as daft as the notion that Covid vaccines are useless/harmful/a plot to control the world. Yet the seemingly respectable and knowledgeable people who espouse the former idea appear regularly on TV and in the media, whereas those that believe the latter are shunned. The […]
